It's a shame that the internet is a virtual medium, because there are a lot of people out there that I'd like to express my deep feelings of friendship to, and having spent the last two years here in Serbia, I'd like to do it in a truly Serbian way.
Tanovic Movie Shoot Starts Monday
Sarajevo | 15 October 2009 | Nidzara Ahmetasevic
Danis Tanovic
"This is a love story that happens sometime at the beginning of this war," Tanovic told reporters, referring to World War II.
"This is not the type of movie one does for the money, but because this is a story that has to be told, or better to say, this movie has to be made," said Manojlovic, who has lived and worked in countries across Europe for more than a decade.
"I am very happy to be part of this movie, which is rich in its screenplay and should be good," said Furlan who lives and works in Los Angeles as an actress.
"We will start on Monday in Vipava, and I hope shooting will be finished sometime in December. We will have 40 working days," Tanovic said, adding that he is more than happy to be able to do a film of this type in Bosnia and Herzegovina, "something that ten years ago was impossible".
The co-producers for the film are from the UK, Slovenia, Germany, Belgium, and Bosnia.
Tanovic won an Oscar in 2001 for his debut movie, No Mans Land. The movie garnered 42 awards, including a Golden Globe and Cesar. His latest movie, which stars Colin Farrell and Paz Vega, was recently shown at the Toronto and Rome festivals.
He lives and works in Sarajevo.
